The Zhou Research Group studies how imbalanced diets and lifestyle factors like alcohol abuse lead to liver diseases, which affect 1 in 10 Americans and are a significant cause of death. Funded by the NIH, they focus on fatty liver disease, exploring its causes, progression, and potential treatments to prevent and reverse liver damage.

The Zhang Research Group aims to improve biomolecule measurement techniques and apply proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics for identifying disease biomarkers and understanding disease mechanisms. Their work could lead to early diagnostic assays and effective prevention strategies for better health.
